Heya - What is free-hand drawing? :)?

Question

Okay, I sound a right idiot, considering I love art/drawing.

I'm wanting a graphic tablet for Christmas, and I've gone through a quick questionnaire to show which graphic tablet I'm recommended to use, and in it, it says :

'You have indicated that you want to draw free-hand. There are special tablets with inbuilt screens for applications like this.'

----

That said, the two it has recommended are £1000+, which indictates I've thought free-hand drawing is something completely different to what it actually is. Would they really charge that for drawing? Which is what made me think it may be designing/job-related.

:)

If you catch my drift, what I mean is, if I've confused myself, and I *shouldn't* want a free-hand one, then that's fine, I'll buy another and save my Mum some money. ^^


Thanks a lot :)

Answer 1

The term "free-hand" in fine arts, especially in drawing, does NOT mean the ability to write/sign your name, but rather means doing any kind of drawing or painting WITHOUT tracing a picture.

Now, the term "pounds" refers to the DENSITY of the drawing paper: the lighter the "pound," the thinner the paper. The average pencil-drawing papers (NOT newspaper-grade or "sketch paper"; sketch paper average between 60-65 pounds) is about 80 pounds in density. Cosidering such a heavy density for a paper, it is usually for use with some kind of ink/paint "medium." (Medium means the TYPE of artistic utensil, such as pencil, charcoal, ink, pastel, water color, or oil paint, just to name a few.)

Yes, professional art supplies (as opposed to the amateur-grade ones suitable for "play") are very expensive. Even fewer artists are willing to "share" supplies, unless you're willing to "share" the cost as well. Seriously consider what you need the tablet for. If it's just "free-hand drawing," irrelevant to graphic art, then choose the lesser density paper instead. My best friend is a professional graphic artist, and her average supply cost is in the $5,000+ (USD) range. She does NOT openly "share" such supplies with ANYONE. Mine is only in the lower $2,000 range.

Answer 5

To me, freehand drawing is drawing with a piece of paper and a pencil only. Like drawing from life or something or even copying. This is as opposed to tracing or working over something already drawn, photocopying, scanning, working in illustrator etc etc.
I think if you want a graphics tablet (the point these first two guys have missed!) you should borrow one first so that you can understand the limitations of it. Buying cheap can sometimes be a mistake. the only way you will know what you wil be getting is to test it thoroughly yourself or get a recomendation from a user.
Lol, £1000 is a lot of money to be spending (or a very heavy piece of paper- wot?)
